SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

SAN FRANCISCO. November Sth.
ELOUR-The several mills are now working
full tIme and product is being turned out with
freedom, so that the market is well sup
p paied; we 9 quote net cash prices for
Bakers extra So 9O&4; Supertine, s3S

WHEAT-There is nothing of special interest
IN me situation. The export movement is kept
III fa1r motion by the occasional chartering of
vessels, without, however, imparting any par
tlcular activity TO grain circles. The fact is
considerable Wheat remains in the hands of
SPECTATORS. and this stock is gradually being
put aboard ship for foreign centers In time
the quantity on hand will be materially reduced
by operations of this character. Progress, under
existing circumstances, is slow and il is not sur
prising that holders are beginning to tire of the
apathy that has prevailed for so long a time
Still, it is encouraging to note that there is no
marked pressure to realize as evidence ia Tins
presented that sellers have faith in the future
The situation at Liverpool has improved during
the past two weeks, and it is to be hoped thai
the change for the better will become more pro-
nounced by the end of the year. so that after the
holidays there may be more brisk trading at en-
HANGED values. AT the moment it is doubtful If
much really good stock could be bought under
81 80 q ctl, while, on the other hand purchasers
are few at anything over 81 2711 for No grades
Millers pay from 81 S21a to 81 S75 the latter be.
ing the full limit for fancy parcels.
BARLEY-The tone of the market to-day WIS
of firm character though parties identified with
this class of trade claimed to see no legitimate
reason for the apparently strong feeling. Some
sellers quoted the market fol. feed at S5@s71Sc
3 ctl, with slow inquiry, while persons of re-
pute reported that they had offered the higher
figure for choice product without being able to
satisfy their wants Perhaps the absence of
rain, combined with the advancing rates for
Oats and other articles of feed, may have some
influence in the premises. Brewing Barley is
offering with less freedom, and some dealers say
that round lots are not being put on the market
However, there is no positive demand at the
moment, and prices remain unchanged From
81 to 81 % q ell is the full range of quotations
Quietness in Chevalier has been the rule for
some time, and nothing can be seen in the near
future that is likely to change the monotony
Quotable, nominal at 81 POOL Is for

0ATS-Sellers have the advantage There is
3 scarcity of bright, heavy, clean Oats, and
holders of such parcels ask price that a short
time ago would have been considered fanclfui.
The demand is active, and no great time is con-
sumed in bartering for lots that suit the wants
of buyers. We quote Choice Feed, ST. 80;

sudden change for the better. Quotable at

FRUlT-Cantaloupes are mostly o. inferior
quality, and are not in demand. ounces are
neglected Apples are in good request the re-
celpts being liberal, though a strictly choice
article does not figure much among arrivals.
Peas OF superior quality are scarce, and custom
cannot be diverted to anything else, so that
common stock goes begging. Grapes continue

and sales at top prices are exceptional and only
paid for something extra. We quote jobbing lots
